A good friend of mine who was very high in the tech area was retrenched from Telstra. Some months later they asked him to work on contract, He said OK one condition I want $2k per day in cash paid daily otherwise no deal!
They said no way you are trying to screw us. He said you already screwed me and now I have you by the short and curlies. They finally agreed and he worked for over twelve months under these conditions.

There are more of these stories. When the bean counters are in charge of science or technology they always fail miserably due to lack of understanding.

The only way we people who have the real knowledge can get back is to treat them as they have treated us.

The only trouble is by then the incompetent twits have run away with the money and left an awful mess behind.

Look at the pathetic geniuses that run the biggest banks in the world and the losses (sub prime meltdown) they have incurred while still paying themselves huge bonuses! Thirty billion of bonuses in NY alone! Would you put your money with them!
